The Indian Motorcycle Museum of Australia is where two wheeled rev heads and lovers of the iconic American brand come to dream (and drool!).
Located in the north Brisbane suburb of Geebung, the museum is not only the treasured realisation of one man’s dream to showcase and share his personal collection of Indian motorcycles and memorabilia but it also provides a dedicated establishment to preserve the history of the famous Indian motorcycle marquee in Australia.
